just watched a Koefficient vid about him unboxing some Wiess Schwarz Holo cards he even gets a signed Sora holo, as a former TCG collector.. lucky bastard and now I'm browsing through ebay looking at Hololive products.
In case anyone is trying to track those down online, those are Rebirth cards (Another Bushiroad TCG, Japanese only for the foreseeable future) rather than Weiss Schwarz ones, the Holo Weiss Schwarz stuff isn't out until October I believe.

Edit: I have the Gamers deck and probably picking up more at some point. No signed ones but got a couple of shiny Okayu/Mio cards.

Not sure what this one is about, my trending atm is all about the whole Gabby Petito thing.

on the side of the cards, as an avid "gotta collect them all" in most games and such.. I would probably try to get a full collection but I know it would personally bankrupt me.. the booster boxes cost ~55 a pop and a straight up signed card afaik is going for 100+.. maybe in a couple of years when I'm a lil more financially safe
:thinking:
edit: ofc.. I'm pretty sure if you are some how in nipponland, think its somewhat acceptable to hit up ome of those secondhand collector stores. Never know what you can find y'know
$55 is about double retail, but I'm really surprised they didn't skyrocket to a crazy price like every other TCG 1 month after release. I pre-ordered a few booster boxes when they first released, unfortunately no signed cards but I did get really lucky with a serial # card.
So knowing that trading cards are super popular right now I decided to pre-order a couple of the Hololive ReBirth For You boxes because I knew they'd sell out immediately.
Looks like I got lucky:

Serial # cards are selling for over $1k on ebay right now, but I think I'm going to keep her because who wouldn't want a super rare PP Tenshi?
 
Marine going on a break again due to vocal issues makes me wonder about how much the EN talents are putting on a character voice and straining themselves, which I've heard is common practice for JP. I'm guessing that Kiara and Baelz are the most drastic, especially evidenced by Baelz's vocal range for karaoke, while Mori and Kronii are the least.

I also wonder whether Gura has a natural southern accent, or if it is just one she likes to put on because it's easy and fun.

Idk why some accounts can't be replied to, but @Alter Ego , here's a sample of Gura's "real voice" dated years ago.
Most, if not all, of HoloEN do put on character voices but it dies over time like Calli
Dude, she needs to just go ahead and do an onlyfans. Then again she's not that pretty., kinda thicc. I think it'd ruin the allure if she started getting naked. Maybe even turn people off.
Kson looks a little weird without her "no make-up" make-up look, but by no means is she not not that pretty. Thicc, I agree. As far as we all know, she doesn't wear underwear and it shows in some cosplays (like the recent 2B cosplay stream)
 
It's very good that Marine is taking care of her health - I have little to no idea how serious this shit is, but I know people who lost their voice for long periods of time due to overstraining it (teachers mostly). Also people of her age should take more care about themselves already :smug: And I'm sure there will be some shitposting/horniposting on twitter, plus that cultured collab with Haachama very soon.
 
Update on the Nijisanji EN Voice Packs:

Selen sold out of her stock in a little over two days, making her the 2nd fastest-selling member of NijiEN behind Pomu Rainpuff.

Rosemi has about 38 left, whilst Petra has 56. However, Petra's limited edition voice packs have been selling out the ass today which is nice to see.

Petra needs to figure out how to do archived and monitized piano streams. Most other streams she does are very meh, but those piano streams will make her bank as soon as she can get superchats during them.

Her not having this figured out is like if Selen still couldn't figure out how to do Apex streams. She is so good and is only hurting her self by not having them be more prominent.
 
Holy fuck the superchats are flying in already. Memberships about to fucking pop off, I would not be surprised if she manages to get at least a thousand members before the end of the stream.

That is 10 seconds of non-stop green barrage. Fuck this I think she will get two thousand members minimum by the end of the stream.

Edit: The chat is just members at this point, Kronii is too powerful. Need to find out how many people join once the stream is over.

Edit Part Deux: Just checked what member-only streams we will get. The last one is gonna please a lot of people.

Damn Kronii know what people wants with that pure sex voice of her.
I just realized something, the breakout talents of both Myth and Council (Gura and Kronii) used to be amateur VA. Wonder if their popularity also has something to do with their voice acting skills and their ability to play with their voice
That the recruitment secret criteria I believe. All of Holomems seem to have such unique distinct voice that you can instantly recognize them by voice only (only Ina and Sana are special case due to their drawing skills though their voice is also unique nonetheless). This might explain how Cover pick up Fauna instead of her “friend” Fallenshadow, who throw a fit on Twitter when discovering that Fauna got in Hololive as EN ASMR despite her have more sub than Fauna on their respective YouTube and Twitch channel.
Great news. I hope this lead to a domino of break and health conscious measure among the other members. If Marine, who's know to be overworking herself, discussed with other and come to the conclusion, I'm sure the other finally realize how serious it is to take care of themselves and continue to work for years building their success instead of trying to burn their life away to ride this wave for one or two more years and have to retire.
Take Kanata with you too, Marine. Poor girl said she'll take care of herself better but still got depressed any day she can't stream.
Parasocial goes both way.
Do any of y'all know why Okayu uses the -san honorific when addressing Korone but Korone doesn't use one with Okayu? My understanding is not using one with a friend implies you're close enough to someone to not have to (and is thus rude if omitted with someone you don't know or in a professional/serious setting). The two girls are tight as testicles and their roommates go way back, so I assume there's something I'm missing. Is Okayu's use of Koro-san meant to be somehow intentionally sarcastic, like an in-joke or something? Because not using symmetrical honorifics and them clearly being very close is why I'd suggest that, although I don't have another example; it's just my guess. Also, Okayu likes to use a lot of looser, almost gyaru-like language, so it's even weirder from her. It has to be some kind of cultural sarcasm thing, right?
Korone was in her late 30s early 40 while Okayu was only early 20. It could be a out of respect for someone who is more senior in age. Plus I believe older people call youngster with our honorific sub fix as well (so Korone is really old then)
I also wonder whether Gura has a natural southern accent, or if it is just one she likes to put on because it's easy and fun.
For Gura, I think her natural voice is a little bit higher than her stereaming voice base on her Twitch archive and some old doulingo videos.
 
The collab I am looking forward to is Calli/Rushia.
Same. I am really glad Mori has started to reach out more to her senpais(even though in this case it was Rushia who reach out which is still surprising) i just don't think Mori realizes that Death Squad isn't probably the best choice for group name.

I am not that surprised i have seen a lot goslings for Selen in /vt/ and if i am right her appeal is that she is very much like a tomboy bro you wish you had back in the day.
 
Ah, yes, vtubing is terribly capitalistic, says the fan of anime, a medium which is produced by groups of unpaid volunteers and distributed for free by local family-owned non-profit organizations such as Sony. Truly Lenin and Mao would look upon Doki Doki Chuuni Panty PANIC!! and feel pride swell in their chests at how far their teachings have come.
